Would you mind emailing the portfolio that's causing this problem to me? My email address is my user name here, @wolflair.com. It's probably some subtle interaction in the positioning scripts, so it may not show up unless I had the same combination of things on the character as you do.

Interestingly, I get exactly the same output on Linux using Wine.

Do you drink merlot from a red hat?

I also got a messed up portion for the PDF output.

Mathias, I will email you the portfolio.

No red hats here, I use Ubuntu.

Regarding the output, I get similar results regardless of portfolio. In my case it may be more related to the fact that I'm trying to run it on Linux, although I could have sworn it worked perfectly a few weeks ago. My memory is very poor though...

i actually had workaround and printed to an adobe pdf driver -- it worked fine.

since someone else has volunteered to send what's requested, i will just check back often to see if you guys have figured it out.

thx!

Tahltwo, I think evillash's problem is a different one than yours.

Colen helped me with the problem evillash reported, and it doesn't look like it could create the odd spaces in the skill list I'm seeing on your picture.

Evillash, the problem you reported will be fixed in the next update.

My best guess is that the problem tahltwo and I are seeing is related to fonts

Looking at the attribute displays, where "STR" and "Strength" are running into each other, and inside the boxes, the text appears to be displayed lower down in the available space than it should, it probably is a font problem.

tahltwo, are you also running Wine or another Windows emulator?

Since tahltwo said he got around the problem by using a different method of generating pdfs, I suspect the problem is in the pdf generator. I'll ask Colen to look in on this thread, since I know nothing about how that works, I'm afraid.
